What's Your Problem?

KAY COLYER
Dear Kay Colyer:
I read your column with great
interest. What puzzles me is that
Us widow ladies who live a Christ-
ian life and attend to our own
business can’t go to town looking
respectable without some long-
tongued man or woman saying
spiteful things about us. Like,
‘Has she started out again?" Do
they expect us to crawl off and
die just because we are left alone
by no choice of our own? It real-
ly does hurt to have people be so
narrow-minded. We need a few
kind words instead of criticism
, A DAILY HKADKH
Since t h e beginning of time
there have been people who take
great delight in saying unkind
things about others. They never
stop to ask themselves what they
would do in like circumstances or
how much pain their loose tongue
might cause. Now, you can’t
change these people; you can only
change your attitude toward
them. Think seriously a moment:
‘ Don’t you have enough kindness
in your herrt to pity a person
who has such a warped mind. . .
who leads such an uninteresting
life that he has time and desire
to watch every
move someone
else makes? Just think how empty
his life must be. . . a person like
that can’t hurt you; your friends
won’t believe them anyway. Ac-
tually, the only person you have
to live with is yourself and ns
long as you measure up to your
own standard decent conduct you
he eats without saying a word un-
less lie is asked a question. When
he does say something he storms
at the children, ruining our meal.
He leaves the table and reads un-
til bedtime. I am thankful he
stays at home instead of going
out but I do wish we could be
better companions. 1 have tried
reading to let him see how it looks
to ignore the children, but he
doesn’t know that 1 am ignoring
them. I have always been a friend
and companion to my children,
therefore they bring all their
problems to me. I wish you would
please help me with my problem
as it is making a nervous wreck
out of me. Please answer me
frankly as I am going to do exact-
ly as you say. M. K.
Your husband appears to have
lust all personal interest in his
home. This condition cannot be
corrected until you find out just
what brought it about and start
from that ijoint. IP-ie are some
things to think about. . . How
long has your husband been read-
ing incessantly. . . What was the
situation in the home when he
began. . . in your attempt to be
a companion to your children did
you leave him out of the picture?
When they were babies, did you
devote most of your time to them?
It is entirely possible that he re-
sents their coming to you with
all their troubles, and showing
evidence of preferring you, even
though it is his fault. He may feel,
like many "misunderstood hus-
bands,” that he is only a meal-
Iticket. Also, he may simply be

Dear Kay:
I have been thinking of writing
you for sometime, but I thought
1 might solve my own problem.
After trying everything, I find
that I need help. M.v problem is
this: The minute my husband
walks In the door he grabs some-
thing to read. I tell him to come
,to the table about five times and
dren to show more affection for
their father. Every normal man
loves his children. When they
come to you for advice, send them
on to him at least part of the
time. Don’t criticize him to the
children nor anyone else. Keep
yourself attractive, alert, and try
to m a k e home a n interesting
place. Act as if he were the com-
panion you desire, and watch for
the materialization.
Dear "PUZZLED” from Krum,
Texas: I am sorry that I did not
receive your card in time to help
Your husband is evidently trying ! you with your problem. Better
to escape something by hiding be- luck next time. K. C.

time, and it sounds like it might

MILWAUKEE, (UP'—Louis U.
Sit. Peter has been getting more
than his share of annoyance from
telephone cranks. They seem to
finu ms name and address a
source of wonder. St. Peter lives
on St. Paul Avenue.
J. O. Williams Pontaic Company
of Gladewater has joined Pontaic
Motor Division’s new select group
of Better Dealers.
Headed by J. O. Williams, the
company has been a Pontiac Deal-
er here since 1937. It was selected
for the honor for general excel-
lence of dealership operation un-
der what Pontiac terms its Bet-
ter Dealer Program.
As a symbol of the company’s
standing with Pontiac, Williams
was presented with a reproduction
of the famous oil painting of the
great Chief Pontiac, for whom the
car was named. It will hang in
the dealership show-room as long
as the standards of excellence are
maintained.
I. J. Woodfin. manager of Pon-
tiac's Dallas Zone, who made the
presentation had special praise
for Williams’ relations with the
local public.
“This is no idle tribute to be
passed out indiscriminately,”
Woodfin said, “To the average
person, the local dealer is Pon-
tiac. He never meets anyone from
the factory. His entire opinion of
Pontiac’s operation and policies
is guided by the manner in which

And
MONDAY
the local dealer conducts his busi-
ness.
“Under this program, we in-
tend to recognize only those deal-
ers who have met the highest
standards of community service.
Each individual case requires ex-
haustive investigation.
“We must find the answers to
such qestions as, "Has he improv-
ed his physical property to keep
pace with the needs of the com-
munity?”—"Has he a sufficient
number of well trained mechanics
and body repairmen?”—"Has he
the proper service facilities, parts
inventory, used car lot and local
advertising program?”, and "What
has he done for his community?”
The dealership is considered
one of the finest and most modern
auto agencies in the State. The
building measures 10,500 square
feet, and includes a completely
equipped service department
measuring 7,700 square feet and
body shop. The showroom, which
is 360 square feet, is of the box
type with plate glass windows.
The firm's parts inventory is
considered more than adequate to
meet not only its own needs, but
those of independent garages in
the araa served. In addition to
the building the property includes
a well-lighted area of 4,500 square
feet for customer parking rnd us-
ed car lot.
To determine a dealer's stand-
ing, Zone personnel keep a run-
ning account of dealership opera-
tion. This is kept in a file-size
booklet entitled' “Pontiac Yard-
stick for Better Dealers.’’
